In total contrast to last year's weather, this year looks like being almost completely dry. There is a risk of light rain on Christmas morning, for the GOAL Mile but St Stephen's Day, for the Belgooly 4, and similarly on Tuesday, for the Togher 5k.
Last year's awful weather resulted in a Christmas Day washout for the GOAL Mile, while the Belgooly 4 had to be cancelled due to impassible roads and another washout for the Togher 5k, so this year's conditions, largely dry, and an unseasonably warm 12 to 15C, will be welcomed by participants, organisers and spectators, alike.
